A lot of the debt (£1.2m in year 1) was due to Spirit of 1873 Ltd honoring sponsorships, season tickets etc. that had been paid to Wakefield Trinity RLFC Ltd prior to administration. I think there has been bad management in paying players over the odds so you may be right - tighten the belts, plug the black holes and pay full price for ST we may be able to pay a similar amounts on the playing budget.

Not true ...spirt started off with a clean sheet I spoke to the accountant at that time and he confirmed that only 30 k is season ticket monies had been taken from the early bird offer.and if my memoury is correct they never appealed for advanced season ticket monies ...which could have been fraudulent ..and indeed if the club doent keep going now could be seen as such.

It was also confirmed that hardly any if any sponership had been paid and it was only at the start of the season that when that revenue comes in. As money is tight for every business and it was during the season when corporates paid their bills Eric France as example.

Now I guess it depends who you believe?

What I do do know is that if you believe glover and Elston and what we have been told........

record gates.....

everthing going well.....

ccj just normal in business....

1.2.mill loss normal! for first season ....

Think it does throw doubt with all the lies been told over the last few months.



In my simplistic calculations and looking at the last trading account published in 2010 under the old Wakefield trinity rlfc turnover was just short of 3 million.

If under the glover and elston regeem trading three seasons( 2 years 7 months) if they kept parity with that income it would have been circa 7.5 million and with loans of circa 2 million doesn that mean we have squandered in the region of 9.5 million in that time?

Yet we were told that they were only spending the same as the old club ? in wages?



Mr carter having listened to his club video was the accountant for over eighteen months of this period ?and I for aploaud his efforts to leep the club going, but if the figers I have quoted are not too far away he will need deep pockets or we will need all the fighting spirt that this club is renound for.

I can be harsh at times but many thanks for people giving there time up for this great club I mean it well done folks you deserve so so much credit!

and i agree with you for once !
